Multiplication semigroups on ℓᵖ #
For an arbitrary nonnegative multiplier m : ι → ℝ≥0, the operators
S(t)x i = exp (-t * m i) * x i form a contraction semigroup on real ℓᵖ, for
1 ≤ p < ∞. No boundedness of m is assumed. Its generator has exactly the natural domain
{x | Memℓp (fun i => m i * x i) p} and acts as multiplication by -m.
For λ > 0, its resolvent is multiplication by (λ + m)⁻¹.
The finite-exponent hypothesis is essential: unbounded multipliers need not yield strong
continuity on ℓ∞.

Instances For
The Laplace resolvent acts coordinatewise by multiplication with (λ + m i)⁻¹.
The infinitesimal generator of the multiplication semigroup acts coordinatewise as -m.
Its domain is characterized by ofLpMultiplication_mem_domain_iff.
The generator domain is exactly the vectors whose product with the multiplier is in ℓᵖ. This characterizes the natural domain even when the multiplier is unbounded.
An unbounded nonnegative multiplier gives a semigroup that is not continuous in operator norm at zero, although it is strongly continuous.
On ℓᵖ indexed by the natural numbers, the unbounded multiplier m n = n + 1 gives a
multiplication contraction semigroup that is not continuous in operator norm at zero.
